PROS:

Evan is so sweet and friendly and an awesome host. He was easy to communicate with and his directions were super easy to follow and understand. He helped me by doing laundry which was a great amenity!

Evan provided cold waters in the fridge for us (My friend doug and i). Nice touch.

The A/C is ice cold and the mattress is very firm, which I enjoy.

The place is tucked off onto a side street right next to a place called Lido's Italian which I really enjoyed eating at twice. I had the Cream Gnocchi the first time, and then linguine alfredo the second. Both were fantastic! (Although Evan doesn't like this place - but I j'adored it).

There was a pharmacy close by, and a seven eleven, and walking to the train was fast and easy.

CONS

A lot of stairs and on the top floor.
The place itself is a little run down, but you get what you pay for so nothing surprising there.
Not sure why this happened, but we didn't have a top sheet or blanket the first night of our stay. I diddn't realize this until late that night so I ended up having to sleep with my jacket as a blanket which was unplkeasant. As soon as I asked for a blanket I was given a large towel as opposed to an actual blanket, but it worked.

OVERALL
Evan is a gem and very sweet and easy to talk to. if you are just looking for a clean place to stay the night while you go out and about to explore the city, it's a great deal for the price and location! Just don't expect the ritz carlton. Also, the photos of the purple room were not the room that we stayed in. Ours was painted white and had a butterfly ceiling.
